Whether you have been a loyal attendee throughout the last 29 years or planned to attend Cruisin Ocean City for the first time, we know how special this event is for automotive enthusiasts. We welcome participants and visitors from all over the region with many as far away as Florida, Colorado and Canada . Given all that is going on around us, we cannot in good conscience risk the health and well-being of our participants, sponsors, spectators, vendors, entertainment, staff, as well as the Ocean City community.
After careful deliberation, and in following the latest mandates and recommendations from national, state and local authorities, we are sad to announce we are postponing Cruisin Ocean City until May 20-23, 2021.
All pre-registered Cruisin Ocean City 2020 participants and spectators will have their registration/tickets automatically transferred to the 2021 event. However, if you would prefer you can have your registration/tickets transferred to the Endless Summer Cruisin event, planned for, October 8-11, 2020. To do so please call or email our office at 410-798-6304 or infoevent@specialeventpro.com.
We continue to be humbled and thankful for your continued support of our small family business and for being so understanding during these unprecedented times. Above all, we pray you are keeping yourself and your loved ones healthy and safe, and we hope to see you in the Fall for Endless Summer Cruisin, October 8-11, 2020. Together we can make this the biggest Fall Cruisin event yet!
We look forward to celebrating Cruisin’s 30th Anniversary with you in 2021!
